Preliminary residual magnetic map of the eastern Bering Shelf and parts of western Alaska
Kimberly A. Bailey, Alan K. Cooper, Michael S. Marlow, David W. Scholl
1976, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 716
Residual magnetic anomalies for the offshore data were calculated by subtracting the Earth's main dipole field, adjusted for secular variations (based on the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), epoch 1965, Fabiano and Peddie, 1969), from the observed values of the surveys listed below. The effects of diurnal variations and magnetic...

Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Celso Puente
1976, Open-File Report 76-393
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very...
